| 20090039577 | Active vibration isolating support apparatus and method for controlling the same - A method includes the steps of: detecting “starter ON” by IG-SW signal (step S | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090045560 | Engine natural vibration frequency detection method, active vibration isolation support device control method, engine natural vibration frequency detection apparatus, active vibration isolation support device control apparatus, active vibration isolation support device, and vibration frequency detection apparatus for vibrating body - The natural vibration frequency of a roll resonance which does not occur since the engine rotation number is high in a normal operation range of an engine is detected at the time of engine start or stop when the engine rotation number is lower than the normal operation range, and thus the natural vibration frequency of the roil resonance can be detected with a good accuracy. A current is generated by an electromotive force of an actuator of the active vibration isolation support device excited by the engine immediately before stopping its rotation, and the frequency of the current is used to detect the natural vibration frequency of the engine, and the roll resonance of the engine is suppressed by controlling the operation of the active vibration isolation support device at the time of engine start based on the natural vibration frequency, thereby not only eliminating the need of a specific frequency detection sensor, but also effectively reducing the vibration at the time of engine start when the roll resonance becomes strong. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090055074 | Control for determining a firing timing of an internal-combustion engine - A control for determining a firing timing of an engine is provided. An in-cylinder pressure is detected at a predetermined time interval. An in-cylinder pressure for every predetermined crank angle is calculated based on the detected in-cylinder pressure. A motoring pressure in a case where combustion is not performed in the engine is estimated. It is detected that a pressure difference between the calculated in-cylinder pressure and the motoring pressure has exceeded a determination value. A time point is identified, as a firing timing, at which the pressure difference has exceeded a determination value with a finer resolution than the resolution of the predetermined crank angle interval through an interpolation calculation. The interpolation calculation uses a first crank angle when it is detected that the pressure difference has exceeded the determination value, the pressure difference corresponding to the first crank angle, a second crank angle previous to the first crank angle by the predetermined crank angle and a pressure difference corresponding to the second crank angle. | 02-26-2009 |
